There are four basic styles of foundation for your tub. You

may consider a concrete pad, a gravel pad, piers made of

concrete or treated wood, or a deck.

3.1 A concrete pad forms an excellent base for your tub. A

properly poured 4" reinforced pad will be stable and

resistant to frost heave. Size the pad so that the sides are

about as long as the diameter of the tub. Example: For a

tub 6' in diameter, pour a 6' x 6' pad.

3.2 A gravel pad can be a simple foundation for a tub in

some cases. If the ground on the site is compact and

stable soil, sand, gravel or rock; a layer of pea gravel (or

course sand) on top can be used to establish a level

foundation for your tub. However if the soil is unstable,

soft, duffy or muskeg, a gravel pad will settle unevenly

under the weight of the tub and is not a good choice. If

you choose a gravel pad, make it larger than the diameter

of the tub by about 3 feet. Example: For a 6' tub, make

the pad 9' in diameter. The thickness can vary depending

on how much gravel is needed to level the site. Typically,

2 to 4 inches is sufficient. Smooth with a rake and check

with a carpenter's level.

3.3 Another alternative is to use adjustable concrete pier

blocks as a foundation. This type of pier block is available

at most home improvement stores and allows you to

adjust the level of the tub after it is in place. Piers can be

set into the ground to make a solid foundation for the tub.

This method involves building a small but strong wooden

frame or cribbing to support your tub.

Typically four piers should be used, and the wood timbers

should be 4" x 6" or bigger. The bottom of the piers must

rest on stable material.

3.4 Another option is to install the tub on a deck.

Installation on a wooden deck can be a good choice. Be

sure that your deck has been designed to support the

weight of a full tub (1500 - 8000 lbs depending on the size

of the tub). Have the deck inspected by a qualified

architect or building engineer prior to proceeding.

If surrounded by a deck, the deck can hide the heating

system plumbing. If on top of deck, the beauty of the tub

can be better appreciated.

NOTE: During assembly, you will need about 3 feet of

space all around the tub for the tightening process. If

necessary, assemble the tub a few feet away from its final

position, then lift, slide or lower it into position (with help).

Section 4: Tub Supports – 4x4 Joists

Time needed: Approximately 20 minutes

Important! Choose a dry day to assemble your Tub.

The floor of your tub is supported by pressure-treated 4x4

joists (included.)

Prepare the joists by laying them out as shown.

The tub floor will sit directly on these. This allows air

space under the tub and allows the drain enough

clearance to pass under the staves. The weight of the

tub which is supported on the timbers. The staves do not

bear the weight of the tub! Once again: DO NOT SUPPORT

THE WEIGHT OF THE TUB ON THE BOTTOM OF THE

STAVES. The flat floor of the tub should be directly on the

joists.

Use your level to get the joists level in all directions. Joists

must run perpendicular (at right angle to) the floor seam.

See Figure 4.1 for the proper position. Take care that

they do not interfere with the preferred position of the

floor drain. If necessary move the joists slightly. It is not

necessary to glue or nail the joists in place.
